In 1821, Spain sold Florida to the United States; in
1845, Florida was admitted to the Union as the 27th state. There
were territorial censuses in 1830 and 1840. The first CORBIN/etc.
to show up indexed in Florida was in 1840. Parts of the 1870 and
1880 censuses appear to be missing. There was a state census in 1885.
The entire 1890 Federal census was lost.

It appears these CORBINs were in the part of Lafayette County that
become Dixie County in 1921, so I've placed them here from the beginning.

WARNING: the pre-1900 census
records for these CORBINs do not remotely jibe, especially with regard
to ages. Either there is gross enumerator error or there are many
bad connections here. Certainly, there are many records missing,
which suggests that we may be skipping a generation by attaching the ones
who appear "too young" to the known families. If there weren't files
at WorldConnect making these connections, I wouldn't dream of making them,
at all. Consequently, I do not trust these
records or this table. I'll keep working on them in the hopes
of straightening them out, but in the meantime, caveat emptor.

I live just two counties away from Dixie County.
I can hardly conceive of what enumerators were up against trying to conduct
the censuses in this area in the 19th and early 20th centuries — without
paved roads and an air-conditioned car. Even today, the county is
mostly undeveloped swamps and woods. It doesn't surprise me that
so many records are missing, though I do have to wish that what records
there are were more accurate.

Jackson
County(formed in 1822 from Escambia Co.)Note: I don't know, for certain, that Jerome Benjamin's
widow and their children are here in 1870, but their daughter, Mary Alice,
married here in 1870, so Mary Ann almost certainly was here — and I find
her nowhere else.

Lafayette
County — see also Dixie County(formed in 1856 from Madison County)

Dixie County was formed from Lafayette County in 1921,
and most of the CORBINs enumerated in Lafayette County before that year
were in what became Dixie County, so that is where they are listed in this
table (see above).
